PRB: Header Files in External Dep Folder Aren't Added to SCC

 Last reviewed: April 14, 1997
Article ID: Q166896
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, 32-bit, for Windows, version 5.0
  • Microsoft Visual C++, 32-bit Editions, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS

Header files in the External Dependencies folder in Developer Studio are not added to source control. They also do not appear in any of the source control dialog boxes.

CAUSE

Files in the External Dependencies are considered external to the project; that is, not part of the project (though still required for a build). Since the files are not part of the project, it does not make sense to add them to source control.

RESOLUTION

If the files in the External Dependencies folder really are part of the project, simply drag and drop them into the project. Once the files are in the project, they may be added to source control.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
